New a Trendy Language

agador — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 01:29:48 GMT

I’ve been noticing for some time now, vendors and host alike have started a new way of speaking! Yes, so new it’s like a toddler. Help me understand what’s going on! Maybe you know someone like this! Ok, examples are cotton- co nn, button- bu nn, Burton- Bur nn, Mountain-Mou nn! I’m seriously confused! Help!

Maybe they are from a foreign country and don't know that the letter t is not silent in these words. Or maybe they do not know how to spell the words.

One QVC host whose name I don't know (relatively new) says button as bu-un. It is very annoying. It sounds like baby talk. Also, often has a silent 't'.

@agador

Is it only on QVC or have you noticed it elsewhere. It could indicate the start of a hearing problem if you are missing certain letter sounds such as Ds or Ts.

What speech impediment? She has a squeaky voice but no impediment I have noticed. The Sketchers vendor is the one I noticed with the silent t.

It's called a "glottal stop"..............and is more of an "accent" than a speech impediment.

How do you know it’s a speech impediment? Are you a Speech Therapist?

One of the new hosts can't pronounce cotton or button. Don't know if it's trendy but there was another thread about it.

It's most likely got to do with regional dialects or language evolution. The subject has been raised here ad nauseum.

@agador

You do know there are "Americans" who were NOT born in America & English is NOT their first language right?
